October Leaves

Yesterday after work I went to a nearby park to enjoy (and photograph) the last bit of sunshine left before the rainy weekend. There were a few people fishing from the dock and a kayaker out on the lake. I tried making friends with some ducks and a squirrel but they lost interest once they realized I didn't have any food. 

It definitely felt like Fall with a chill in the air and leaves on the ground. I'm obsessed with the changing of the trees' leaves and how bright and colorful they can become this time of year. I've always been fascinated by trees and think it would be neat to correctly identify any tree that I come across. Yes, I will add that to my to-do list: become a tree nerd!

Golden Autumn Day

So I may have gone a little overboard while taking photos of the colorful trees in my neighborhood during my walk this afternoon. I just can't get over how much they liven up the streets and had to document them for when I'm feeling not so inspired during the gloomy winter to come. I was in such a better mood after returning from my walk and plan to do it more often. 

Fall At Your Feet

Saturday afternoon was our designated pumpkin picking day and we were pleasantly surprised at how many other fun activities were going on at the farm . We completed a good portion of the corn maze, braved the haunted house, chose our pumpkins, and bought some fall treats at the country store. There was also a zip line, obstacle course of sorts, pony rides, and two trains. We had a great time despite the heat and the very large crowd of people in attendance. The farm goes all out for Christmas too so we will definitely be making another visit come December!

A Cozy Day

Part of today was spent settling into our favorite spot on the couch, continuing the journey through the loveliness that is Friday Night Lights (currently finishing season 2), and appreciating fall decor that acts as a reminder of how fast this year has gone by. The holidays have a way of speeding up time just when lists of to-dos keep growing. The mere thought of that exhausted Macie and was cause for a cat nap. (As if an excuse was necessary). Hope you all had a wonderful Monday!
